Taping into the growing Asian Internet market,
global network services provider
Infonet Services Corp. today announced
an agreement with
Korea Telecom.

The agreement calls for Korea Telecom to market and support El Segundo,

solution for us was to find a strong and appropriate partner–one that can
meet the needs of companies operating in our region.”
